For the next 24 hours, a well-received 2022 survival-horror game is available for free on Steam. With a 91% approval rating from over 1,900 user reviews, and a score of 78 on Metacritic, it’s a great choice as Halloween approaches. Steam users give it a “Very Positive” rating, making it one of the top-rated games on the platform. It’s also a first-person shooter!
This offer isn’t available directly on Steam; instead, it’s through Fanatical. The deal is only good for 36 hours, ending on October 17th, and is subject to key availability. Keys are currently still available, but that could change before the deadline. For now, Steam users can get a free copy of *Golden Light*.
About the Game
Golden Light, created and published by Mr. Pink, is a unique game that blends survival horror, first-person shooting, roguelike elements, and prop hunting – all with a comedic twist. It usually costs $20 on Steam.
The game puts you in a terrifying situation: you must venture into a dangerous place called the Gut to rescue someone you care about. It’s a twist on the traditional prop hunt game – instead of *you* hiding as an object, the objects are hunting *you*. This, along with the other challenges in the game, creates a truly original horror experience, setting it apart from many new horror games on Steam that simply borrow from older titles.
The top user review on Steam describes *Golden Light* as a uniquely unsettling and strange roguelike game. It’s praised as a fantastic horror experience for players who want something different and aren’t afraid of games that defy expectations.
You can download and play *Golden Light* on the Steam Deck, but keep in mind that Steam lists it as “Playable,” not “Verified.” This means you might encounter some issues and may need to adjust settings to get it running smoothly, though it *is* fully playable. The game takes about seven hours to complete, whether you’re playing on the Steam Deck or PC.
